This painting explores the interaction between land and water through an aerial perspective, examining the relationship between natural and built environments. I wanted to capture the fluidity of water alongside the structural elements that shape the space, reflecting both connection and isolation—echoing aspects of human experience. My technique involves layering transparent and opaque acrylic glazes to create depth and movement, mimicking the reflective and ever-changing surface of water. Broad, gestural brushstrokes contrast with finer, more deliberate marks to suggest the interplay between organic currents and human-made structures. A range of blues and greens blend organically, reinforcing the sense of an evolving landscape. Textural elements, created through palette knife work and dry brush techniques, add further dimension, evoking the tactile qualities of land and water. This painting was awarded an Honorable Mention in Teravarna’s 5th Water Art Competition and contributes to a broader conversation on landscape representation, abstraction, and the dynamic relationship between human presence and natural forces.
